Astra 2G, the third and final new UK TV satellite is now slowly moving towards the UK TV slot at 28 east.

At the time of writing it is at 32 degrees east, and as it is moving at about 0.5 degrees a day, will be at 28 east by the 15th June.

Once in position, it is expected that channels on the aging and failing Eutelsat 28A will be moved to Astra 2G. Also some channels from the two other new satellites, Astra 2E and Astra 2F, will also move to Astra 2G.

HMA, one of the most popular VPN service, is having a limited time special offer.

A VPN allows you to access content that is "geo-blocked".

Content on such services like BBC IPlayer and Sky Go, are only meant to be available in the UK, and a re geo-blocked in other countries.
Using a VPN you are allocated a UK IP internet address, and so you can access the BBC Iplayer and Sky GO content.

A number of channels on 4 frequencies on Eutelsat 28A moved to the Astra 2F satellite.

Interestingly they have been moved to the UK beam of the 2F satellite.

And not the European beam.

This will mean that these channels may have been lost for some viewers in southern Spain, Portugal, South of France and Italy, as their satellite dishes are now too small to receive these channels on their new "temporary" beam.

It is unknown if these channels will remain on a UK beam or be on the European bean if and when they move to their permanent home Astra 2G.
